In the list of featured characters, Headstrong (13), Rampage (14), and Tantrum (16) link to their G1 selves. If these are actually their decendants, should they get their own pages?

Maybe? It's hard to say. I mean, I guess I would be inclined, but this might be one of those author intent things, like what keeps Longhorn (Universe) from being on Ramulus's page. They look like the actual Predacons upon which they are based, and the story itself doesn't say that they're different guys. So, uh. Further discussion is warranted, I believe. --ItsWalky 17:24, 14 January 2010 (EST)

Beast Wars Vehicle Altmodes

[edit]

Is this the story that established (beyond doubt) that Beast Wars-era Maximals and Predacons on Cybertron mostly had vehicle altmodes? JW 10:35, 29 July 2010 (EDT)

Predacons

[edit]

Why does this page list Tantrum, Headstrong and Rampage as being in the book when we say right underneath that it's not actually them? Either one is essentially author intent, since they're not identified. -LV 15:01, 13 November 2011 (EST)

More weirdness: Headstrong and Tantrum's pages say that it is them, in reformatted technorganic bodies (Rampage's page doesn't mention this issue at all). --Khajidha 15:13, 13 November 2011 (EST)

I imagine nobody really wants to touch that murky issue, which is why each page is such a weird hodgepodge of whatever. Frankly, if three of them are relatives and not the original guys, there's no guarantee their names are even Rampage, Headstrong, and Tantrum. One solution would be to make a page for all three at [[Predacon (DOFP)]] or something. --ItsWalky 15:24, 13 November 2011 (EST)

What was actually on the page, what was revealed as author intent, and what is supposition? --Khajidha 15:39, 13 November 2011 (EST)
From inference, those guys are obviously the G1 Predacons in the post-Beast Machines era. Pete Sinclair, however, overcomplicated it by saying that everybody but Razorclaw and Divebomb were new guys who look like the old Predacons. (And it seems increasingly likely we're never going back to this plot thread.) I'm of the opinion that those appearances should be noted on the G1 character pages, with a reference containing Pete's comments. —Interrobang 15:49, 13 November 2011 (EST)
